Librivox recording of Aesop's Fables, Volume 1 (Fables 1-25).

Dating back to the 6th century BC, Aesop's Fables tell universal truths through the use of simple allegories that are easily understood. Though almost nothing is known of Aesop himself, and some scholars question whether he existed at all, these stories stand as timeless classics known in almost every culture in the world. This is volume 1 of 12. (Summary by Chip)

Subject: Thank you!

I'm really grateful for such a great (and free) resource to share with my students!🙂

This Libravox collection is like nails on a chalkboard! A chore to listen to, and WAY to many public domain disclaimers. Add that to reading these even short stories will put you to sleep... yuch!

Subject: timeless lessons

Good set of timeless lessons.

Easy fix for long intros: just fast forward to :28 or :30 (except to :18 for last 4).

Subject: Very old recording

Sorry, this is a very old recording. We now have a much shorter disclaimer for projects with very short sections.

Subject: Hard to listen to

The Libravox intro every 45 seconds makes it hard to appreciate this.
